PKGSRC NEWS
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
This file contains information about important infrastructural changes in
|
|
pkgsrc. The intended readers are the pkgsrc developers as well as anyone
|
|
tracking pkgsrc-current.
|
|
|
|
PLIST_VARS introduced [jlam 20080413]
|
|
PLIST_VARS is a simpler way to do conditional PLIST entries.
|
|
The old method of doing e.g. PLIST_SUBST+= FOO="@comment " can
|
|
now be done by unconditionally setting PLIST_VARS+=foo and
|
|
conditionally setting PLIST.foo=yes. This will result in substitution
|
|
of ${PLIST.foo} in the PLIST with either "" or "@comment ".
|
|
|
|
SKIP_PORTABILITY_CHECK is obsolete [rillig 20080220]
|
|
After being deprecated for about 16 months, this early misdesign
|
|
has finally been obsoleted and removed from pkgsrc.
|
|
|
|
Check for stripped/unstripped binaries [rillig 20080213]
|
|
A new check has been added in mk/check/check-stripped.mk to
|
|
assure that the installed binaries conform to the setting of the
|
|
INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED variable. It is not enabled by default due to
|
|
lack of testing.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL update [tnn 20080118]
|
|
OpenSSL in pkgsrc switched from the 0.9.7 to the 0.9.8 branch. To
|
|
accomodate for this, 596 packages dependent on openssl had their
|
|
revisions bumped.
|
|
|
|
pkgsrc-2007Q4 released [agc 20080105]
|
|
A new stable branch was released. Read the announcement at:
|
|

|
|
|
|
Simplifying meta-packages [rillig 20071219]
|
|
The variable META_PACKAGE was introduced. This simplifies creation
|
|
and maintenance of packages that do not install files.
|
|
|
|
Replace a package with different name [gdt 20071107]
|
|
The variable OLDNAME was introduced for "make replace" to
|
|
replace a package with a name other than the new one, via
|
|
"make replace OLDNAME=oldpkgname". Read the announcement at:
|
|

|
Features framework [jlam 20070907]
|
|
A "system features" framework has been added. It will be used to
|
|
automatically supply missing "basic" headers and libraries for old
|
|
systems. This is supported through the USE_FEATURES variable.
|
|
|
|
X.org 6.9 removed [joerg 20070817]
|
|
monolithic X.org 6.9 was removed from pkgsrc. It was obsoleted by the
|
|
modular X.org (7.x) packages. Transitioning users should remove all old
|
|
X.org packages and set X11_TYPE=modular in mk.conf.
|
|
|
|
Emulator framework [jlam 20070729]
|
|
A new emulator framework has been added. This will handle all
|
|
binary-only packages that require emulation on the native OS.
|
|
Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README.
|
|
|
|
audit-packages merged with pkg_install [adrianp 20070714]
|
|
The utility for auditing installed packages for security problems,
|
|
audit-packages, has been rewritten in C. It is now part of the
|
|
pkgtools/pkg_install package.
|
|
|
